Just keep a steady 3 inches with zero melting. Stay below 15F so no melting on roads or dirty looking snow. Yep. Of course I’d prefer more snow, but beggars can’t be choosers. I go to northern WI a few times each winter for snowmobiling and relaxing. That’s my ideal climate - every winter, you can count on frozen lakes and ponds, plus constant snow cover for 2+ months…it’s just a matter of how much. And they don’t salt the roads to death. Plus, the summers are nice - warm, but not overly hot/humid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nelson Posted Saturday at 03:34 PM Share Posted Saturday at 03:34 PM Doesn't look like we are going to shake this northwest flow (west ridge) any time soon 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheeselandSkies Posted Saturday at 05:21 PM Share Posted Saturday at 05:21 PM 12Z GFS is disgusting. Endless CAD through the end of the run. Although *at least* the last 200 hours of each run of that model are a total crapshoot, I'd really prefer a different look at some point. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelson Posted Saturday at 06:00 PM Share Posted Saturday at 06:00 PM All of the ensembles are pretty disheartening for any type of change away from the position of that western ridge - That look has been so f'ing persistent... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baum Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago 8 hours ago, Chicago916 said: So we do this LE again end of week? Looks favorable this side of the lake again interestingly BEYOND THIS, THE SIGNAL FOR AN EXPANSIVE UPPER TROUGH CUTTING SOUTH AND WESTWARD ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES CONTINUES TO GROW IN THE GUIDANCE SUITE TOWARDS THE END OF THE WEEK. WITH THIS OCCURRING AS ANOTHER 1050S MB ARCTIC HIGH BUILDS SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE NORTH-CENTRAL CONUS, THE POTENTIAL FOR ANOTHER ROUND OF LAKE EFFECT SNOW IS EVIDENT FROM ABOUT THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY. WITH ICE COVER LIKELY TO EXPAND WITH TIME, IT'S A BIT UNCLEAR HOW THIS MIGHT IMPACT SURFACE FLUXES, ALTHOUGH LATEST GLERL ICE FORECASTS INDICATE ICE COVERAGE LIKELY WON'T EXTEND BEYOND 15-20 MILES, WITH A WIDE OPEN FETCH AVAILABLE ALONG THE LONG AXIS OF THE LAKE. WITH THE COLDER LAKE TEMPERATURES, THERMODYNAMICS ARE NOT OFF THE CHARTS, BUT CERTAINLY MORE THAN SUFFICIENT FOR INTENSE LAKE EFFECT WITH SURFACE-850 DELTA TS NEAR 20 C AND LAKE-INDUCED ELS JUST UNDER 9-10 KFT. WAY TOO MUCH UNCERTAINTY AT THIS TIME RANGE TO MAKE ANY ADJUSTMENTS TO THE BLENDED SLIGHT CHANCE POPS, BUT THIS WILL BE A PERIOD TO KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next weekends’ potential storm could be a hold-my-beer type step up from this last one. It’s a glorious east coast pattern.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malacka11 Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago Ik it's been a pretty standout year for Chicago lake effect events but I'm pretty happy with the bonuses I've received here in westmont so far. I think snow cover has been far more consistent than back home in Aurora and I'm pleasantly surprised. It's definitely kept me from cad posting 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
